Full name of site:
Great City of Chicomostoc-La QuemadaCountry: Mexico
TWHS?: Yes
Short description of site: If the total elements of this site are considered, from the extensive roads and the numerous smaller sites linked to La Quemada, this is a singular archaeological site in the context of mesoamerican sites. It is supposed that this place could be the legendary Chicomostoc, a Caxcan site, a Teotihuacán fortress, a Purépecha centre, a fort against Chichimeca intruders, a Toltec trading post, or simply consequence of independent development and a city of all the native groups established north of the RÃo Grande de Santiago.
Criteria: Cultural
Full name of site:
Sierra del Divisor National ParkCountry: Brazil, Peru
TWHS?: Yes
Short description of site: The Sierra del Divisor National Park is characterized by having rare and diverse geological formations that do not occur anywhere else in the Amazon and include a series of sandstone hills (As Serrania de Contamana, Ojo de Contaya, Sierra del Divisor) and cones volcanoes in the south (El Cono), which exceed 800 m.a.s.l., which in some cases is shared with Brazil. The Park hosts a rich biological community of mainly endemic, rare and endangered species of plants and animals, including species of commercial value that are over-exploited in other regions.
Criteria: Natural
Full name of site:
Chachapoyas sites of the Utcubamba ValleyCountry: Peru
TWHS?: Yes
Short description of site: The most representative site of the Chachapoyas culture is the
Kuelap Archeological Complex, considered an elite urban site of indisputable political and religious pre-eminence, and therefore, the hegemonic center that would exert supremacy over the ethnic groups of the territory; sample of it, would be the groups that inhabited the sites Ollape, Yalape, Macro and Olan, among others. Moreover, the importance of Kuelap was of pan-regional scope because it radiated beyond the north-eastern Andes, reaching very distant regions such as the north coast and highlands on the western side of the Andes.
Criteria: Cultural
Please remember to include information about your proposal and links when possible. When seconding a proposal, it is also helpful to explain (briefly) your validation of the site.
